What Parents Need to Know
About What a Girl Wants
Parents need to know that this movie has some brief strong language, including a reference to a dog that bit a man's testicle and an ugly insult (from a villain) about a character's mixed race heritage. The family issues, including the Parent Trap problem of having a child bring her estranged parents together, may be difficult for some children.

what a girl kinda wants...
It was a cute movie that was definately ok and pre-teens would enjoy more... I thought it was kinda weird but I luv amanda bynes so she made it especially enjoyable as are all her other movie I have seen. It was a totall chick-flick though... Idon't think boys would enjoy it.

This fun movie is great for girls 7 and up!
This movie is about a girl who wants to meet her dad, who she has been wishing to meet all her life. When she finally meets him, he turns out to be a very serious guy with a prissy step-daughter and wife. But when he sees her and her mom again, he realizes fame isn't worth giving up family.
